1 and 1 hosting review A dedicated server may be one of the ways to go for hosting but not for personal bloggers or small business owners.

For this 1 and 1 hosting review, we are focusing on…

VPN

Network security is a tricky thing, but using a virtual private network (or VPN) like IPVanish goes a long way toward making the web safer and…

vyprVPN Review With a VPN, you can be sure that using the public, unsecured Wi-Fi at the coffee shop won’t lead to your identity being stolen. VPNs also help circumvent online censorship and are used by activists and journalists operating in countries with repressive internet controls. On the lighter side, a VPN can spoof your location and make region-locked streaming content available.

VPN Unlimited Review When you switch on your VPN, it creates an encrypted tunnel between your computer and the VPN server, which can foil hackers or even government snoops trying to eavesdrop on your activities.

Antivirus

TOTAL AV Antivirus Review Unlike many other Antivirus software suites out there, Total Antivirus or TotalAV is one antivirus software suite that is as close to being fully featured as any other.

Norton Antivirus Review Norton’s lineup of consumer Windows antivirus products combines top-notch malware detection with, in the most expensive product, backup software and 25GB of online storage. The software, however, saps system performance greatly during scans, and even the priciest Norton product lacks some of the creature comforts we’ve come to take for granted in high-end security suites, such as encryption and file shredding. Feature-wise, the suite’s antivirus protection is identical. However, where users of the standalone antivirus must rely on FAQs and forums for support, the suite adds a…

Avast Review Most free antivirus programs don’t offer much besides basic malware protection, but Avast Free Antivirus is a half-step toward being a full-fledged security suite, with many features you’d normally be charged for. It has not only a password manager and a local-network security scanner but gives you lots of configuration options. [UPDATE: Since this review was first posted, Avast Free Antivirus has added a secure browser.] Yet while it didn’t say much of our computer’s performance, Avast Free Antivirus took a long time to scan, and its malware protection could be better….
